Abstract: Traditionally, meetings are widely utilized in business and personal communications, whether in-person and/or virtual. Organizing such meetings typically involves multiple exchanges of content and messages between users before, during, and after the meeting. In some cases, meetings may occur impromptu and may result in inefficient and unproductive collaboration. A collaboration object configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate before, during, and after a meeting is provided. In aspects, the collaboration object links content generated before, during, and after the meeting in a single location and provides functionality for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of the content across applications. The collaboration object may be available from a variety of application platforms, enabling and persisting real-time editing and collaboration before, during and after the meeting.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a control system includes a client terminal, a first server and a second server. The client terminal transmits an assignment request of an IP address including first identification information that uniquely identifies the client terminal and is set as a host name to the first server. The first server assigns an IP address to the client terminal in accordance with the request, and transmits the IP address and the host name to the second server. The second server transmits, when one or more items of second identification information include the first identification information set as the host name and when a setup process of the client terminal has not been performed, data for the process of the client terminal to the client terminal using the IP address.

Abstract: An apparatus in a mobile communication network combines information from monitoring IP flows carrying latency sensitive content passing the apparatus and information about the application behavior and target Quality of Experience (QoE) or target connectivity characteristics such as Quality of Service (QoS) from the application to provide ongoing predictions of QoE/QoS. In some cases, the apparatus exploits a probe on a device to generate traffic for learning flow characteristics not obtained from monitoring application IP flows in the network. Embodiments disclosed herein can be used to predict quality metrics for many applications where jitter/latency is a factor affecting perceived quality, such as QoE for a human consumer or QoS for machine type communications. The embodiments are applicable to the analysis of traffic carrying conversational speech.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable user-level activity recordation using population level activity data by receiving operator data including a record of activities performed by users on an operator system. Each entry in the record of activities is parsed to form structured activity entries representing each activity executed on the operator system. Each entry in the record of activities is matched to an individual account in an account database based on an individual identifier of each entry and an account individual identifier identifying the individual account. A statistical metric representing the activity history of the individual account is produced based on each entry matched to the individual account, and an activity history dashboard is displayed on an operator computing device to depicts the statistical metric for the individual account.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing requests for content received from customer devices are described. A decision on how to respond to a request for content is made at an edge node based on a locally maintained popularity list. The local popularity list reflects the local popularity of individual pieces of content at the edge node. A white list of content to be cached and served irrespective of popularity is sometimes used in combination with the local popularity list to make decisions as to how to respond to individual requests for content. In some embodiments the edge node decides on one of the following responses to a content request: i) cache and serve the requested content; ii) serve but don't cache the requested content; or iii) redirect the content request to another node, e.g., an alternate serving node, which can respond to the content request.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a machine learning system that monitors and detects health and safety risks in electronic correspondence related to a target field are described. In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring email communications over a network to identify an email associated with a target field. A machine learning classifier is initiated that is configured to classify text from the email with a risk as being related to a safety risk or a non-risk. The machine learning classifier generates a probability risk value that the email is related to a safety risk and labels the email as safety risk or non-risk based at least in part on the probability risk value indicating that the email is a safety risk. An electronic notice is generated and transmitted to a remote device in response to the email being labeled as being safety risk to provide an alert.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for using machine learning to learn vector representations of DNS requests such that the resulting embeddings represent the semantics of the DNS requests as a whole. Techniques described herein perform pre-processing of tokenized DNS request strings in which hashes, which are long and relatively random strings of characters, are detected in DNS request strings and each detected hash token is replaced with a placeholder token. A vectorizing ML model is trained using the pre-processed training dataset in which hash tokens have been replaced. Embeddings for the DNS tokens are derived from an intermediate layer of the vectorizing ML model. The encoding application creates final vector representations for each DNS request string by generating a weighted summation of the embeddings of all of the tokens in the DNS request string. Because of hash replacement, the resulting DNS request embeddings reflect semantics of the hashes as a group.
